Stephen J. Dubner Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Here at last is the long awaited sequel to the international bestselling phenomenon, Freakonomics. Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner have been working hard, uncovering the hidden side of even more controversial subjects, from charity to terrorism and prostitution. And with their inimitable style and wit, they will take us on another even more gripping journey of discovery. Four years in the making, SUPERFREAKONOMICS will once again transform the way we look at the world. It reveals, among other things, why you are more likely to be killed walking drunk than driving drunk; how a prostitute is more likely to sleep with a policeman than be arrested by one; why terrorists might be easier to track down than you would imagine; how a sex change ould boost your salary; and how there really is a cheap fix for climate change. The freakuel is even bolder, funnier and more surprising than its predecessor. With their unflinching analysis Levitt and Dubner overturn received wisdom: looking more deeply, asking more questions and, above all, thinking a little differently. Because sometimes the most superfreaky solution is the simplest.

Je nebezpečnejšia streľná zbraň alebo záhradný bazén? Aký vplyv majú rodičia na to, čo sa z nás stane? Prečo drogoví díleri zostávajú tak dlho žiť u svojich matiek? Čo majú spoločné učitelia so zápasníkmi sumo? Prečo tak prudko klesol počet členov Ku Klux Klanu a aký dopad na životnú kariéru vášho dieťaťa má meno, ktoré mu dáte? To sú len niektoré otázky, ktoré si kladú autori Freakonomics, aby prišli s nečakanými odpoveďami vyvracajúcimi konvenčné predstavy.
